IIRC, @miceblue
 dissected his M-100 and posted pictures in this thread, although I can't locate the pictures now and I haven't seen him on here in a while.

Heeey SpiderNhan! I've been around Head-Fi, but I haven't been catching up with this thread for a while.

Yes, underneath the earpads is the plastic chrome-coloured (at least for the Pearl White colour) driver cover. The driver cover is attached to a plastic plate (which has the chrome paint on the outside of the earcup) and that's held together to the M-100's earcups with Phillips screws. Just unscrew those and you should be able to take that plastic plate off. Be careful though since the drivers attached on the back of that plate are attached to the exterior headband cables via the headphone splitter circuit boards.

Taking the earpads off, you see this:



Unscrewing the screws and carefully flipping over the plastic plate, you'll see this:





Here's the headphone splitter circuit, which attaches to the driver as well as the external headband cable:



I don't think the plastic driver cover is easily detachable, so I probably wouldn't try to pry that off.

Hey guys, my one button mic for my m-100's is no longer working.  Sound keeps cutting in and out if the jack is moved/touched at the source. Can anyone recommend a replacement cable (preferable one that works with android phones)?  The return process to vmoda seems too long to not use the headphones and the cost to return will be about as much as getting a new one.
Thanks

Why not another V-MODA cable? Also, is your M-100 still under warranty? When I had problems with my cable they just had me cut the cable in half and send them a picture. The new cable was sent to me within 3-4 days.
 
If you want to go with a cable other than V-MODA, I know the Beats Android cables and Skullcandy cables work.

Hello,
 
I am listening to M100 since last more than 2 years when m100's were first launched, I can see a crack on left side ear piece, I just want to ask what next, if price is not a concern, then which headphones can I buy which have a similar sound signature like M100 and a little more bass..

 

 

[lovebeats]

Does any one know what in ears have a similar bass signature  like m100's?? Thanks

You may want to check out the JVC HA-FX850! I have both and both have great bass but I would give over all sq to the 850s.

Well, looking back, I probably would've gotten some CIEMs, but let's talk about the two headphones you listed.
The Momentums themselves weren't good for their price.  I really wouldn't recommend wireless, because wireless tends to raise the price and lower the SQ.  I really wouldn't recommend them for anybody.
The M100's probably won't be good if you're looking for good vocals.  The mids are a little thin on them compared to headphones with a more flat sound signature.  If you go with the M100s, I'd recommend just ordering the XL pads.  From what I've heard since I got them, the M100s don't seem to sound that special for their price range.  The M100s with the XL pads are a solid buy, though.
Quick note: The M100s play EDM, metal, and dubstep fantastically.  If you love harder genres especially, the M100s are tuned well for them, while they fall flat for things that aren't "active" genres, like liquid EDM, acoustic, softer rock, softer EDM, and stuff like that.
This is my opinion, you may have a different one.

You can probably purchase them through Amazon.  If you purchase them with the headphone, the shipping is free for the pads.

 

[Bumblebox]

not on amazon

Amazon generally gives the lowest price for everything new, and imo is the most reliable source for everything.  It's a shame you can't purchase from there.
Unless you have really small ears, I just wouldn't recommend the M100s without the XL pads.  They change the sound slightly, and the comfort gets so much better, though still not incredibly comfortable.

 

[lovebeats]

Thanks, are they comfortable to wear??

They're fairly comfortable with the XL pads for me, but without them, my ears press up against the driver.
